And not a very good one. Looks very old fashioned and blocky.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I was surprised how civil the thread was and how little intervention there was needed from moderators (which I consider a very good thing - I always hated the mass deleting of posts on TVF)

Re: The unofficial motorway services thread

Nandos and Pizza Express seem unusual choices for motorway services as you need to wait for your food. All the other outlets are instant serve. Sounds like they didn’t build it just for motorway travellers according to that same website: “Although Leeds Skelton Lake calls itself a service station, ...

Re: The unofficial motorway services thread

This is the one I visited - I didn't realise it's only a couple of years old. The second floor has an RSPB viewing deck. https://motorwayservices.uk/Gallery:Leeds_Skelton_Lake What was Harry Ramsden's is now something called "The Good Breakfast", and the former Sourced Market is still empty.

Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

Struggling with buying groceries during the cost of living crisis, so buys completely unnecessary products that she doesn't need or even knows what they are. Makes sense? Nationwide are back with another terrible advert.

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

Re: The New Real Thing

I’m sorry but Pepsi Max is ghastly. Just awful. Tastes absolutely nothing like Pepsi. Coke Zero is fine, but unsatisfying. Pepsi > Coke > Coke Zero > Hell > Pepsi Max Imagine being this wound up about pop. Calm down dear, it’s only a forum post. I’m only acting. I’m really a very good driver.
